Jan Steen's "Supper at Emmaus" (c. 1665-1668) depicts the biblical story of Jesus appearing to two disciples after his resurrection. The scene, set in a garden, features a group of figures at a table enjoying a meal. Steen's characteristic style, known for its rich detail and humorous observations of daily life, is evident in the painting. The disciples' casual postures and the presence of a serving maid add a touch of earthly realism to the divine encounter, suggesting that even in moments of spiritual revelation, the mundane details of life continue to exist.
Comments
On their way to Emmaus, two Disciples unexpectedly encounter Christ. At first they do not recognise him. As they sit to eat and they break bread, they realise who he is. And at that moment, he disappears. That is the moment Jan Steen depicts here: Christ’s shade is just visible on the left beneath the arbour.
